“The patient is stabilized now,” the doctor said.“But he hasn’t woken up yet?” “No,” the doctor shook his head. “Lady Agnes’s cure only kept him from going into a complete heart and liver failure. But to completely recover, he needs the actual cure for the poison.”Westin balled his hands into fis
Yet she didn’t stop her pace for him.She ran into the hallway and caught up with Sammy and Wells.“Hey, Sammy!”She got to Sammy’s side and gave her a smile, “I want to thank you for standing up for me like that. It means a lot to me.”“D…Don’t be.” Sammy shook her head, “It was Prince Wells. He en
Belle took a moment to tidy her dress, which got wrinkled during running.Then she puffed her chest, raised her chin, and walked over like a proud princess.“Morning.”She said in a polite yet distant voice.The ladies jerked around in shock. Especially Agnes. Her movement was so large that she almo
“What kind of friend is more important than his own brother and sister?” Aurora let out a sarcastic laugh. “Or are you saying that you and the King have an improper king of relationship? I wonder what the King says about this—”“NO!” Agnes snapped.She let out a frustrated breath and stood up from h
Aurora urgently dodged to the right and narrowly escaped the blade by one inch.The killer’s move was swifter than she thought.He swung his arm and threw a punch at Aurora’s shoulder.Aurora was a trained soldier.She was confident that she could stop that punch.So she raised an arm and tried to s
Westin placed a piece of grey cloth on the bed.“I tore it off from his clothes last night,” he said.Aurora picked up the cloth and studied it closely.She saw people dressed in cloaks made of similar cloth.The House of Shadows.Which happened to be Elder Lamonte and Agnes’s house.Aurora clenched
Elder Lamonte’s face was expressionless.His calm eyes met Aurora’s for a brief moment, and then he looked away.“Lady Aurora, did you get a clear look at the killer?” Elder Pierre asked urgently.“No,” Aurora shook her head.“This is unacceptable.”Westin said in a deep, anger-filled voice, his sha
Fear seized Aurora’s heart as she stared at Clemente, horrified.Was this the person who assassinated her last night?She couldn’t be sure.Because she didn’t get a clear look at the man’s face, just his eyes.But those eyes…They looked exactly the same!“Aurora?”Westin’s voice snapped her back to
Kevian gave her a warm smile. He then shocked everyone by dropping down on one knee.“Congrats, Gamma Aurora,” he said, kissing on the back of her hand. “You deserve all the happiness.”“Kevian, get up,” Aurora whispered. “You’re a king now, you don’t need to do this.”“And you’ll always be my Gamma
The preparations for the wedding began immediately.Damien spared absolutely no expense. He wanted everything perfect—he was obviously going for the wedding of the century.They decided to get married in the castle at Ever Moon Pack, where Aurora grew up at. The venue was quickly transformed into a
Aurora and Damien stood there for a long time. She waited till the last bit of her son’s scent faded before turning away. Sadness filled her heart and it hurt like crazy. She also wondered if she was a bad mother. But she knew this wasn't goodbye forever. Like Aspen said, he would always be her son.
Damien shifted back instantly, pulling Aurora into his arms so tight it almost hurt. But she didn’t care. His heart pounded wildly beneath her ear, like he was terrified she'd disappear if he let go for even a second.“Fuck…Fuck!” he cursed, his voice rough and desperate. “I take my eyes off you for
Aurora looked at Lance nervously. “What do we need to talk about?”Lance glanced at Westin, irritated. “Westin, can you give us a minute?”Westin crossed his arms, leaning against the tent wall with a cold smirk. “I’m her husband. Whatever you want to say, I can hear.”Lance narrowed his eyes but di
Everyone stared at Damien like he'd totally gone crazy—including his own elders.Aurora was already married—to Westin, of all people—and they even had a kid together. What Damien asked was beyond insane.“My King,” one elder tried to reason nervously, glancing between Damien and Aurora like someone
Aurora didn’t close her eyes once that night.Anxiety twisted her heart painfully, filling her with dread. She couldn’t shake the horrible thought that Damien might take out his anger on Aspen just because he thought Aspen was her and Westin’s child. She prayed for him to think harder on what she to
Westin stood tall and powerful on the windowsill, moonlight shimmering around him, casting a fierce glow over his stern features.“I said, let go of my Luna, Damien,” Westin growled, his green eyes locked dangerously onto Damien.Damien’s jaw clenched tightly, eyes blazing with fury. He pulled Auror
Aspen quickly stood before her and opened her tiny arms. "Stay away from my mom you evil King!" he cried, bearing his teeth at Damien. But Damien ignored him. He stepped forward, eyes cold and fierce and fixated on Aurora, voice dangerously quiet. “Did he just call you Mommy?”Aurora instinctively
